About
My name is Raquel Quinzon, and I am an experienced elementary educator with 19 years and 5 months of teaching experience in the Philippines and Indonesia. I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary Education, a Master of Arts in Education major in Administration and Supervision, and a Doctor of Philosophy in Educational Management.
I began my teaching career in the Philippines, where I worked in private schools for three years. I then spent six years as an English Primary Teacher in Semarang, Indonesia. Working with students from diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds strengthened my ability to adapt instruction, differentiate learning activities, and create an inclusive and supportive classroom environment.
For the past 11 years and 5 months, I have been serving as an elementary teacher in the Philippines. Throughout my career, I have developed strong skills in classroom management, lesson planning, differentiated instruction, student assessment, technology integration, and building positive relationships with students, parents, and colleagues. I am committed to creating a student-centered classroom where every child feels respected, supported, and encouraged to succeed.
One achievement I value most was helping a very quiet student develop confidence through consistent encouragement, visual aids, and collaborative group activities. Over time, the student became more comfortable participating and actively sharing ideas in class. Experiences like this remind me that teaching is not only about academic achievement but also about helping children develop confidence, independence, and a love for learning.
I am a dedicated, adaptable, and lifelong-learning educator. I look forward to bringing my international teaching experience, educational background, and passion for helping students succeed to a new school community.
